The Consolations Of Old Age is a poignant sermon delivered by Samuel Kirkland Lothrop at the First Unitarian Church in Dover, New Hampshire, on June 28, 1846. The occasion was the one-hundredth birthday of Ezra Green, M.D., the oldest living alumnus of Harvard College. Lothrop's sermon reflects on the blessings and challenges of aging, offering solace and spiritual guidance to the elderly and those who care for them.
Lothrop's thoughtful words provide insight into the social and religious attitudes toward aging in 19th-century America. This sermon serves as a historical document, illustrating the values and beliefs of the Unitarian Church and the broader community regarding longevity, mortality, and the significance of a life well-lived. The Consolations Of Old Age is a valuable resource for historians, religious scholars, and anyone interested in the history of aging and American religious thought.
